After a long hiatus, I'm finally back to working on this set 
I carefully traced out the wiring for the replacement Wheeler speakers and hooked them up.

Then, I populated all the tube sockets and flicked the switch.
It's alive  Plenty of volume, but it's not as sensitive as I expected. Also, the shadow meter isn't working very well. I'm not sure about the condition of all the tubes so I'll test them before moving on the checking voltages.

The cutout is for the speaker. Here's a photo from a different set.
